    Post election thoughts

    Mwahahaha! You actually based your 'personal conclusions' on the extensive research method of watching crap tv? Did you seriously assess a political leader (ie the person unfortunately running this country) on whether or not he appeared on a television show which has no bearing on politics...

    Quoting or Paraphrasing?

    I got in trouble for footnoting my sources in an essay - big arrow saying "don't do this! No wonder you ran out of time". very true, it's a waste of time. Just stick it in brackets if you're lazy, otherwise work the historian's name into the sentence beore quoting.

    The Problem of Pamela Bradley

    ok, so everyone's basically come to this conclusion already, but I called the HSC advice line and 2 ppl both said DON'T QUOTE BRADLEY! They also said to look at her footnotes and read the sources she cites, but I'm taking it one step backwards and just quoting Thucydides/Manetho/Gardiner etc...

    PoMo - do u believe in it?

    Soz I wasn't intending to offend you...I was just playing around with ideas. Basically I just get frustrated about the fact that so many people interpret pomo to essentially mean that life has no purpose or meaning. I don't think that's what it's saying at all. The way I read into pomo is that...

    Another UAI Prediction please...

    They're excellent marks and ranks, so unless your school is ranked really badly (I'm assuming it isn't) then you're set for the 90s easily.

    PoMo - do u believe in it?

    I don't think that's a very fair analysis...not to mention the fact that you haven't really backed up your very generalising claims. What you're basically saying is that pomo is a kind of 'excuse', a desperate attempt to explain the un-explainable. I think it's much more than that, and I think...

    So...When Does It Start?

    GAAAAH! It's started! We are no longer the ee2-ers...the baton has been passed on. I'm so sad. :(

    uai prediction yalla

    I really doubt that u'll get high 80s...sorry but your ranks aren't great and since your marks are around the middle bands you're more likely to get scaled down than up. Then again, if you've improved that much in english since getting a tutor, then if u work really hard u could bring ur marks...
  12. G

    another one. plz

    Your marks are pretty good but the subjects you have chosen will bring you down, they're not scaled well. I'd say somewhere in the 80s.

    Uai???????

    It's hard to say without knowing your school's ranking but I'm guessing around mid eighties to mid nineties? The fact that you're coming first in a lot of subjects makes it hard to predict, but your english and modern marks are good and they're all well scaled subjects (extension maths is the...

    how do i approach this question?!

    Both! You should have a very detailed understanding of all of them, but in my opinion it's also a really good idea to have one or two spare historians, just in case the question is whacked...which it may well be. I'm scared!

    I Have Notes Available

    excellent, what topics of ancient are they on?

    PoMo - do u believe in it?

    Ok, I get it now! I thought u might have Turet's or something. :) But I'm not really sure that I agree that the literary and social mutations of pomo are so different...I mean obviously they're not the same thing, but they use the same principles and ideologies to reach the same conclusions (eg...

    modern? or senior science?

    You'll do better getting great marks in a lower scaling subject than you will getting ok marks in a higher scaling subject. If you think you can get past the boredom thing modern is a fantastic subject to do and if you can get excellent marks in it it will boost your marks because it is scaled...

    Ancient CSSA trial paper

    Hey guys, does anyone have a copy of the CSSA ancient trial that they could email me? Everyone seems to have gotten such amazing results, it would be a huge help if I could see what everyone was tested on.... my email is gemita8785@hotmail.com. I can't really offer you my school's trial as it...

    UAI prediction (pretty please???)

    It sounds like a paradox but it's actually not...the ext-hist internal mark rests entirely on the major work you do, it's just a big historiographical research project on a topic of your own choosing. But then the trial has nothin to do with it, it's based on the course work. So I did really...
